Menu Manager Configuration Errors
Error Description Recommended Action
100 ADE: Configuration of the ADE
interface is invalid. This error is displayed when an invalid modification to either of the following menu parameters is
detected: Protocol Type, Dial Type, Unit Multiplier, Digital Input Function Type or Digital Output Func-
tion Type
1 Configuring the M2000 as an ADE interface has the following limitations, Protocol Type V1
is only allowed if number of dials is less than 8
2 The resolution of the totalizers (i e Unit Multiplier) must be set to something other than
OFF
3 For 8 dial configuration, a resolution of 10000 and 1000 are not supported There are not
enough display digits to accommodate 8 dials and greater than 100 units of resolution
4 For 7 dial configuration, a resolution of 10000 is not supported There are not enough
display digits to accommodate 7 dials and greater than 1000 units of resolution
101 ADE: Enabling/Disabling ADE
operation is invalid This error is observed when Digital input or output function is manually selected for ADE operation
Enabling or Disabling ADE operation can only be accomplished by setting the ADE protocol type
110 Output 1/2: Pulse Output
Configuration Error
This error is observed when improperly configuring either the full scale flow, pulse per unit, pulse
width or digital output function type for pulse output operation Preparing these parameters for pulse
output operation (i e forward or reverse) has limitations that are monitored by the menu manager
This error can indicate the following configuration violations:
1 Pulse Frequency exceeds limits at full scale flow
2 Pulse duty cycle is less than 50% at full scale flow (i e pulse on time > pulse off time)
3 AMR Pulse Frequency exceeds limit at full scale flow
The pulse frequency limit is 10 kHz when the pulse width is 0 (i e 50% duty cycle)
The pulse frequency limit is 1 / (2 * Pulse Width) when the pulse width is non-zero in order to achieve
a 50% duty cycle
For AMR operation, the frequency limit is 3 HZ
Follow these steps for configuring meter for pulse output operation:
1 Set PPU to zero for both output 1 and 2
2 If necessary, set full scale flow appropriately for application
3 Set PW as required by equipment receiving pulse transmissions from meter Observe
frequency limits for non-zero pulse widths
4 Determine the desired pulse frequency at a typical flow rate (i e 1000 HZ @ 250 GPM
5 Calculate ratio of typical flow rate to full scale flow: ratio = typical flow rate / full scale flow
(i e 250 GPM / 500 GPM = 0 5)
6 Calculate flow rate conversion factor: For GPM, conversion factor = 1/60, for GPH,
conversion factor = 1/3600, for GPS, conversion factor = 1
7 Calculate PPU: PPU = (Desired pulse frequency at typical flow rate / ratio) / [ Full Scale Flow
* (conversion factor) ]= (1000 / 0 5) / [500 * (1/60) ] = 240 Pulse / Gallon
8 If an error is received consider reducing value of full scale flow and ensuring desired pulse
frequency is within limits Then redo steps 4-7
If not using the pulse outputs, set the pulses per unit to zero to allow for reconfiguration of the
full scale flow If it is required to use the pulse outputs, re-evaluate the pulse output configuration
Consider recording and clearing totalizers following pulse output configuration"
120 Display: Totalizer Conversion
Error – Totalizer cannot be prop-
erly converted for display
This error is observed while trying to change the totalizer units Limits of display will prevent
improper configuration of the volume unit dependent on current totalizer values Consider
recording and cleaning totalizers prior to changing totalizer
121 Output 1/2: Pulse Output
Configuration Error
This error is observed when changing the totalizer units of measure This error implies the pulse
configuration exceeds limits (see error 110) Please note the pulses per unit is not automatically
updated on volume unit reconfiguration The pulses per unit should be manually changed to
accommodate the desired units of measure It may be necessary to set the pulses per unit to zero then
change to the desired totalizer units
